Pierce Veterinary Clinic — Local services in Ellsworth

We love the staff and vets at Pierce Veterinary.

They are so patient with our skittish rescue Bella. They don’t push her out of her comfort zone and she has made great progress since taking her in last March.

Our big boy Duke loves everyone he meets and vocally expresses that but they don’t mind. No vet has ever minded Duke once they see past his size and that he just wants to be their friend.

We also have cats that they are really good with. I recently had to have our old boy Kirby put down because he was incurable and wasting away. That was incredibly hard but the staff and vet were so caring about it and gave me extra time with him before hand. A couple of weeks later I received the most beautiful sympathy card from the clinic that made me cry again. It was such a loving gesture that I was not expecting. I could tell that it was as hard on them than it was on me. I don’t know how they deal with the grief we feel but also that unfortunate duty to recommend and then follow through with. They deserve more commendation than...

I have multiple animals and began a search for a new veterinarian when two dogs with minor hotspots each closed out a visit at our current vet topping $400. I was frankly expecting it to be $200 each, but $400+ each is just too hard to swallow.

Pierce was upfront on the phone about their pricing, something a few vets that I called would not even discuss. I subsequently took 2 of my other dogs in and had more work done and medicine prescribed than either of the ones that went to "Vet number 1", and had a bill significantly less.

The doctor was knowledgeable and listened to my concerns - I was given an estimate before any work was done - I was consulted on the treatment plan once diagnosis was completed - and I was a happy camper when I left.

I have to drive 58 minutes one way from my house, which is not fun, but it is well worth it for the value of the service and the caring way the patients I have brought to them were treated!

They get my STRONG recommendation! Need a vet? Make Pierce...

Will never bring our pet there again. Over charged padding the bill. It's all about money here! Not your pet. You love your pet like we do and they'll charge you for it. What happened to reasonable cost of caring for your best friend. After care was suppose to be included in my pups ACL surgery at $3400.00. Picked him up. Found out he was left unattended during non-business hours with no supervision or pain control. When we questioned additional xray costs we were suppose to schedule there 2 weeks later. The woman there Gave me a snide look because we were upset and simply said. "we're sorry you misunderstood'. We'll get the after x-rays. But not there! They want to pad the bill? I'll pay somebody else for it. I'm not a vet but if the after care is important I have to do it for Bruce our pet. But not there!...
